"Every day is different and brings new challenges, but what remains the same is the way we work in close collaboration with the client, working as a single team to find solutions, instill best practices and deliver upon a common goal. I work with my client in creating Data Management and Governance Strategies and then executing upon that through defining policies, developing new operating models, overcoming challenges in Data Quality, providing recommendations on master data management plus a whole array of other data management capabilities. It is never a one size fits all, but the challenge and fun is in finding what works best for our clients.Working within the DAISE team is like playing a field sport, where everyone has their strengths and areas of expertise and is there to help each other with our common goal of being successful. We work hard; but with that we know how to have fun and there is no shortage of events and opportunities to get together and celebrate our successes." - Amit, Manager
